Visiting the Elephants

About a month ago, the Indy zoo had a baby elephant. We had to go check her out before she got too big, so Friday the kids and I packed a lunch put on some sunscreen and headed to the zoo.

Note for the future...I totally didn't plan it this way on purpose but it was also free admission day at the state fair so the zoo was so so quiet. There was like nobody there! We'll have to do the same next year.

Wait, next year Tessa might already be in Kindergarten when that day comes, BOO HOO HOO!...Sniff...Okay moving on. Enjoy the pics!

Riding the zoo train

Yes there are bats that big. Crazy right?

PB&J time.

Of all the amazing animals at the zoo, my kids like the ducks that hanging out by the food court begging for scraps. I can see the appeal, unlike the other animals...you can reach right out and feed them goldfish if you want. I'm partial to ducks myself.

There she is, so cute! I couldn't remember her name but the internet tells me it's Kilena.

Tessa

Born in April 2007....sweet, kind hearted, goofy as all get out, world traveling enthusiastic foodie, ballerina, basketballer, little Mommy and queen of the one-liners.

Charley

Born in Jan 2009 (the baby that was almost birthed on the side of the road)....super affectionate, positive, blonde, loves playing with other kids, obsessed with Star Wars, and so social and talkative that he often gets himself in trouble for it.

Crosby

Born in September of 2015, our 'bonus baby' that has perfectly rounded out our family.
